VitusVet has processed more than one million claims through its mobile app on behalf of insurance provider, Nationwide. The benchmark, VitusVet says, suggests a growing reliance on insurance to offset the cost of veterinary care, as well as an overall preference for digital and mobile tools to manage pet care. “Pet owners are committed to the health and well-being of their pets, but are increasingly caught between the expense of properly caring for them and the use of outdated communications and interactions with veterinary practices,” says Mark Olcott, DVM, CEO and cofounder of VitusVet. “Reaching this claims milestone demonstrates that pet insurance, coupled with the rise of convenient mobile and digital tools for veterinary practices and pet owners alike, can help make caring for a pet easier and more affordable.”
